Top 5 Delis in Metropolitan City of Bologna

Via Marsala, 2/b, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy

“Went twice in two days, loved sitting in the wine shop with a glass of well-recommended wine and some food from the deli. The staff were lovely and it just has a great feel to it. Would definitely go back!”

Via dal Luzzo, 4a, 40125 Bologna BO, Italy

“Perfect! The atmosphere was so inviting with the fireplace and style of the space. Delicious Romagnolo food made with fresh local produce. We recommend the Piadina with parma ham, Squacquerone cheese and caramelised figs. A great selection of local craft beers and international favourites. Best of all, these guys really care about the service and experience they provide. Manuel was so friendly, fun and kind, like an old friend. Get there early if you want a seat. Thanks so much guys. We'll be back!”

Via Augusto Righi, 32e, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy

“We are staying in Bologna for a month. Tried a lot of spots. This place just nails it for authenticity. Great selection of wines. Some great beers. It’s a little off the main tourist trail which is excellent. Great platters and sandwiches. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

Via S. Rocco, 12, 40050 Monteveglio Alto BO, Italy

“Wonderful authentic Italian food in an atmospheric setting on a hill top. Probably some of the best Italian food we have eaten & we’ve been many times.”

Via Nazionale, 38, 40051 Altedo BO, Italy

“We stopped without planning and ended up at the best restaurant we ate in Italy. You walk in and there is a wonderful smell, the food is being prepared in front of you! Everything is fresh, delicious. And the service - outstanding, we were treated amazingly. If you are in the area this is a must stop!!!”

Via XXV Aprile, 11, 40011 Anzola dell'Emilia BO, Italy

“Traditional local cuisine. The outside ambience might mislead, but interior and terrace are genuine and local, like the wonderful food to taste. Tortellini and Lambrusco are the star of the menu.”

Via Giuseppe Petroni, 19/A, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy

“The food is good but there are not enough varieties They are also really clean.”

Via Santa Caterina, 43a, 40123 Bologna BO, Italy

“We visited Bologna in July. The place looked not very encouraging at first, but after a quick look around the street, we decided to go in. We were invited to the magical, hidden garden with fantastic atmosphere. Local bread delish, home-made meat blew us away, and I am not a fan of meat. Antipasto was extraordinary, and our Tagliatelle and Lasagna…just speechless. Service was very efficient and nice, the owner greeted us with a big smile. We will definitely come back once we’re in Bologna again :)”

Via S. Donato, 18, 40127 Bologna BO, Italy

“Excellent and delicious pizza! The atmosphere is extremely cozy and the staff super friendly and nice! They have good pizza for the best price; we will definitely come back”

Via de' Griffoni, 5/2a, 40123 Bologna BO, Italy

“Our air b&b was one door away from the restaurant. We attempted to go Friday night but they were closed for a private event. Booked a reservation for 8pm Saturday night. Arrived and were greeted by a gentleman who I think was the owner. We were quickly seated and the owner brought over a chair and chatted with us. It was really nice. He then looked at us with no menus and asked what we wanted to eat. Shocked, we inquired what’s in the menu. He then said he would make us what we wanted. So we took his recommendations and did bruschetta and carbonara. It was the nicest ordering experience I’d ever had. Felt like he curated the menu just for us. Food was amazing - fresh and well prepared. All served family style. I loved the experience so much! There was no music and the ambiance is rustic wine cellar like. I’d highly recommend but I don’t look at the photos and expect that to be available. I think he decides what to cook each day. Highly, highly recommended!”

Via Cimarosa Domenico, 25, 40033 Casalecchio di Reno BO, Italy

“I love that place, when I wish a good pizza I usually go here. Pizza is really good, perfectly digestible and made with good ingredients, moreover there are a lot of pizzas in the menu, including pizza with pasta (trust me, if you haven't tried it yet, do it) and sweet pizzas. Also the ambience is enjoyable thanks to the staff. And prices are right for what you eat, not so expensive and not too cheap (€ 6.5 - 7 for a pizza). The only bad point is that it is difficult to reach this place without a car. Apart from that, it's a great restaurant in my opinion.”

Via Augusto Majani, 1/b, 40121 Bologna BO, Italy

“Everything about this restaurant is first class. Interesting interior, upbeat waitstaff that are friendly and can speak English. Innovative dishes prepared and displayed on the plate beautifully great wine pairings. Easily one of my top 3-4 food experiences of my life. I would consider myself silly if i we're going to be near Bologna and not go again. In fact, i was staying in Firenze and took a train to do just that. Entrance can be hard to find.”

Via Porrettana, 245, 40037 Sasso Marconi BO, Italy

“The location needs to be adjusted a bit on google maps, the map will direct you to a pizzeria close by, they also sell fish dishes so obviously many people make this mistake. Then I called the restaurant finally someone answered and told me the exact location, it's like 20m next door. As a fish restaurant in the middle of a mountain area, you can not expect too much. The cozze is good, all the other dishes we ordered are ok, fish quality is good, fresh, but the chefs can put more attention into the flavors. If you really want some fish, do not expect too much.”

Via Ronco, 1, 40013 Castel Maggiore BO, Italy

“It was an amazing experience. The people working there really care for the guests and are very attentive. The food was phenomenal as expected! English was absolutely no problem. The ambiance of the villa is iconic and nice to enjoy. Also great place to try the first fine dining experience.”

Via Guglielmo Oberdan, 4, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy

“Absolute gem of a restaurant. The food was outstanding, the Ragu in particular was excellent. My wife and I also enjoyed a great bottle of red wine; they had a few to choose from. The outdoor seating was perfect, given the warm weather. Highly recommend.”

Via del Borgo di S. Pietro, 74b, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy

“The place to try when in Como!! We loved the ambiance, service and fusion food! The sushi are perfectly executed, with a good balanced of rice compared to the amount of fish! All products are fresh and delicious. Thank you Vincente and the rest of the team for this great moment! We will be back next time we come in Como!”

Via Santo Stefano, 1a, 40125 Bologna BO, Italy

“A modern pizza franchise right next to some of Bologna's most important landmarks. If you're looking for Neapolitan Pizza (lighter with a. "cornicione") here they do it great, with amazing options even for the type of dough. Only minor complain is that the fried items we got (suppli) were not as impressive as expected. Since the location is very good, I strongly recommend booking ahead of time, especially during the summer and Friday nights.”

Via S. Vitale, 71a, 40125 Bologna BO, Italy

“I’ve never had better service. The atmosphere is cozy and homey, the food is on another level. Whenever I come to Bologna, I always come here multiple times. This is my favorite restaurant. You can always expect the highest quality of fish for the best prizes, as well as a beautiful combination of modern and traditional Italian cuisine.”

Via Centese, 214, 40050 Argelato BO, Italy

“Very cosy and warm place ... I like the food and atmosphere, highly recommended”

Via Galliera, 242, 40050 Funo BO, Italy

“Breakfast with the family. Good coffee and cappuccino, two brioches were a bit dry, the sacher a bit heavy. I haven't been there for at least 4 years and the quality has deteriorated a bit. The place is always nice.”
